Pollinator Week

National Pollinator Week is a time to celebrate pollinators and spread the word about what you can do to protect them

Eleven years ago the U.S. Senate’s unanimous approval and designation of a week in June as “National Pollinator Week” marked a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Pollinator Week has now grown into an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles.

The Pollinator Partnership is proud to announce that June 18-24, 2018 has been designated National Pollinator Week.

POLLINATOR WEEK WAS INITIATED AND IS MANAGED BY THE POLLINATOR PARTNERSHIP.

SUGGESTED SCRIPT FOR CALLING GOVERNOR'S OFFICE

Hello my name is NAME. Can I speak to the person that handles proclamations?

I am calling to follow up on a letter sent by the Pollinator Partnership requesting the governor proclaim STATE Pollinator Week, June 18-24, 2018. The Pollinator Partnership would love to demonstrate STATE'S support for pollinators to its citizens. Please let me know what I can do to move this proclamation forward.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me. Have a great day.
